Later from Europe. The steamer Arabia brings European advices to the 9th. The following is a summary of the news: The London Globe's Paris correspondent says that M. Chevalier's pamphlet on Mexican affairs is considered an indication of the prompt recognition of the Southern Confederacy by the Emperor Napoleon. The Paris Pays denies the official character of the pamphlet. Earl Russell's reply to the Emancipation Society memorial, remonstrating against the departure of the rams build for the rebels, is in a tone of disapproval, and says nothing can be done without affidavits. The Moniteur says that the Florida was only permitted to make indispensable repairs at Brest, and that her reception was according to the ordinary principles of international law. The news of the bombardment of Charleston had further depressed the Confederate loan. The cotton market was easier, though quotations are unchanged.

at his final answer should be known before next New Year's day. A very spirited analysis of the new French pamphlet, by M. Chevalier, on the Mexico, American question, appears in the London Times. M. Chevalier maintains that France should hasten to recognize the Confederacy from Mexico, and thus, by being the first to do so, gain the friendly alliance and trade of the new nation. In this he thinks the Emperor would have the support of all the minor commercial nations of Europe at least. He recommends a large emigration of Frenchmen to Mexico, the elevation and sustainment of the Latin race on the American continent, and the firm establishment of the new empire. The Paris Moniteur, of the 4th inst., officially announces that, by virtue of the rights of belligerents, accorded by France to the Confederate States of the South, the Confederate steamer Florida, now snugly ensconced in the harbor of Brest, has been authorized to remain there long enough to complete her repairs.

g account of a visit to the C. S. steamer Florida, now lying at Brest, France. We make some extracts from the letter which will be found to thirteen officers. Four fine fellows are from the neighborhood of Brest. Capt. Maffit says that he has hardly ever taken a prize but what ut we could not do that. I brought him and twenty-four men here to Brest, and sent them to the English Consul. If the pilot has any just cliness is to take care of the ship." When the Florida came into Brest she had been at sea for eight months without spending more than four entire days in port. Before entering the port of Brest she had not been more than twenty-four hours in any one port, although she visited and one officer (who was accidentally drowned.)

t from Europe. European advices to the evening of the 5th inst.--a day later — have been received in New York: A dispatch from Paris, dated the 5th inst., in the evening, says: The announcement respecting the victualing of the Florida at Brest in the Moniteur is supposed to be a still more explicit declaration on the part of France that the period of neutrality is fully passed. The Paris correspondent of the London Globe, telegraphing on the same day, says of Michael Chevalier's paor Napoleon has, the Patrie states, accepted the Grand Cross of the restored Mexican order of Notre Dame de Guadalupe. Some excitement has been created in Paris by Mr. Dayton having telegraphed to all the American Consuls now in Europe to send any American vessel-of-war happening to be in European harbors in the direction of Brest, for the purpose of giving chase to the Florida; and bets have been made in Paris in favor and against the chances of escape of the celebrated rebel privateer.

there is danger in outraging feeling, and the public feeling now admits being outraged by the wanton and causeless destruction of private property. The purown of sowing discord between Federals will fall will dogs if they do not that put forth all their strength and bring the war to a close before France and steam rams are subsidized by the Confederates. [from the Paris Journal Des Debats, Sept. 3.] The Confederate corsair, named the Florida, some days ago entered the roadstead of Brest, and disembarked the crew of a vessel which it had burned near the English coast. It would be well were it possible to interdict from access to our ports veritable sea rovers, for the Florida is nothing else. Now we believe that is possible. The rights of belligerents have without doubt been conceded to the Southern States, but it is evidently on the condition that they conform to the regulations of international law. They have not the right, as they assume, to stop vessels which they meet

The stay of the Florida at Brest is, it is stated, likely to be prolonged beyond the limits originally, perhaps, contemplated by ree circumstances noticed in the French papers.

Later from Europe. The American gives the following summary of European news: The presence of the Florida at Brest was a continued theme of apparently absorbing interest for the Paris papers. It is asserted by these journals that two Federal men-of-war are on their way to blockade the harbor and catch her as she goes out. One of the rams built by the Messrs. Laird had been towed to the Morphea Iron Works to receive her finishing touches, when she would be ready for a trial trip. There is no doubt of the tenor of the Russian reply. The Czar remains immovable on the Polish question. It is rumored that Mr. Mason, the "Rebel Envoy," had withdrawn in consequence of the systematic rudeness with which he had been treated by Lord Russell. Capt. Maffit has resumed the command of the Florida. A decline had taken place on the Paris Bourse, owing to the apprehension of unpleasant feelings between the Government of the United States and France in relation to

A letter from Capt. Maffitt. Capt. Maffitt, of the Florida, at Brest, writes a letter to La Patrie, (Paris,) explaining the position of his ship according to international law. He says: Brest, Sept. 12, 1863. Sir: Your number of Brest, Sept. 12, 1863. Sir: Your number of the 10th inst. contains two errors, which I beg permission to rectify. It states: "Two incidents have just taken place in France and England which interest the American question. The first is the seizure at Brest, by a French ship-owner, of the CoBrest, by a French ship-owner, of the Confederate privateer Florida, who claims from her an indemnity of 100,000 francs for the loss of a vessel belonging to him, and which was sunk by the said privateer." On this first point I have the honor to assure you that, in spite of the thrusts of that assertion is false, and I refer you on that point to the letter published by M. Peequet du Beller, in the Ocean, of Brest, which contains a faithful relation of the incidents of the encounter which took place between the Florida and the French

w the dangerous position of Rosecrans, but suggests that the Union prospects may be brighter than the telegraph makes out. As to Charleston, it remarks that the means of attack being superior to the defence, the place may tall. A letter from Brest, dated September 20, says the Florida has finished repairing in the Government dock and gone into the mercantile harbor, where she was refitting; she would go into the roadstead in about a week, but would not be ready for sea for three weeks or a month. The Federal steamer Kearsage continued at Brest, awaiting coals. It is pointed out that twenty-four hours must elapse after the sailing of one vessel before the other be allowed to depart. Maximilian replied to the Mexican deputation on the 3d inst. He is "ready to accept the throne on a free, spontaneous expression of the population, and by a guarantee for integrity in the independence of the country."
